 *  This small cave habitat was found 15 feet or 5 meters  inside the cave mouth, Our attention was immediately drawn to  the  grouping of white Demosponges and  purple Lace Coral (Stylaster roseus).  In the upper left was an orange Demosponge , a pale yellow Demosponge (both unidentified), and red organisms, possibly  Ascidians. It has been suggested that the bright red-orange nodular forms may be Foraminifera.
